EX-REPREsENTATIvE COX SUGGESTED FOR THE

Assistant Secretary POrter's Su ccessOr
Ex-REPRESENTATIvE cox SUGGESTED FOR THE
VACANCY.
There Is still uncertainty as to who will succeed
Gov. Porter as Assistant Secretary OF State 1t IS
generally conceded that Mr. Bayard will not have
man for the place who will not yield judgment
to him in all matters and not assume to speak for
the Department. He will certainly select the
man himself, and his choice will probably not be
known until the appointment is formally an
nOunced. Ex-Representatiye Cox, OF North
Carolina, who is spoken OF for the appoint
ment, is very friendly with MIR. Bayard,
and IS we'll qualied for the position. He
has stood as defender OF the Administration
and civil-servce rerOrmer from the very start
He was an active member OF the foreign affairs
committee In the House and chairman OF the civil
service reform committee. He Is quite wealthy,
SO that the salary would be no consideration, but
the dignity OF the Office would well suit him and
he is notably very discreet and diplomatic. He
would, 1t Is held. combine dignity, discretion,
diplomacy and civil-Service reform in manner
quite to Mr.. Bayard'S taste.

LONDON June 4-The Thistle was beaten to-day by
tho Genesta and Irex in the Thames Yacht Club
race from the More to Dover. The Thistle was
leading by quarter of an hour when she ran
into a calm. The other yachts kept the breeze
and went ahead. The Thistle afterward had
strong wind which compelled her TO take in her
topsail and house her topmast. The wind became
light later, however, and the Thistle could not
regain the lest distance.
The Gcnesta crossed the finishing line at BAG
and the Ircy 20 seconds later The Thistle finished
five minutes behind tho Ircx.
The lrcX lost her topsail during the race.
The race was an extraordinary one. Az the

ately forged ahead. The Thistle held brisk
breeze until the Forcand was reached, when she
was three miles in the lead Then the wind
died out again, and the rest OF the boats holding

Ihc weather was "thundery' and the brcezes
were fitful and varying.
The Sybil, Foxhound and Neptune took prizes
by time allowance.
The contest afforded little opportunity to judge
